sugestions for bindings

I just purchased my first pair of race skis, and I look forward to getting them and trying them out,as I have been sking on a pair of 15 year old elan carve. The skis that I got are Atomic D2 gs. They did not come with bindings, so I am looking for suggestions for a set of bindings that will go nicely on these, and not cost me a bunch of money. I am perfectly fine with using a used set of bindings if someone has a set that would work well that they need to be rid of.

Im sorry but I am kinda new to this..... I have read that some skis will only except a few bindings. Will any binding mount to the ski that I have,....fyi they look just like the ones pictured at the bottom of your post. Also I believe that I would need a 70 - 75 brake. I have looked all over the internet for the atomic x12 bindings that you said were standard for this ski, and have not been able to find any. Sorry for all of the questions, but I would hate to buy something and then find out that they wont fit on my ski.

This is a system ski that is usually not sold without the bindings - I assume you bought them used? I doubt any bindings except the Atomic 12TL would fit. They will not be readily available as a separate item but Atomic dealers should be able to help you out. What that may end up costing you is a different question. Your best bet may indeed be ebay. The binding also comes on some junior Atomic FIS race skis. If you can find a used pair of skis with the bindings on ebay you may still save money over buying only the binding from a dealer.
